Re: cattle show

Just been reading the classes you would be better with
calf under 12 month
heifer 12-18 month
heifer in calf or in milk
cow in calf or in milk
as if you have to many younger classes you might only 1 or 2 in a class
have you got a dexter judge

Re: Soon to be orphaned calf

I would get some calf powder bucket feed it and let it run with the other cows
and it might sneak some milk off them as well. as we had a orphan off someone else
last year and it shared at 2 cows all summer
